Fernandez, Santos, Lee and Vergara—champions in Classes A, B, C and Ladies—will be joined in by runners up Wilbert Tan, Manny Angeles and Anthony Eugenio to complete the CATS Motors-PHL team, which will battle eight other Asian nations at the picturesque Hope Island and Glades Golf Courses.

The delegates, headed by CATS Motors President Felix Ang and country captain Emy Arcilla, will fly to Australia via Cathay Pacific Airlines in the tournament that will also serve as a qualifier for the prestigious MercedesTrophy World Finals in Stuttgart, Germany in September.

The MercedesTrophy is an annual exclusive golf tournament for Mercedes-Benz owners who are as passionate for golf as they are about cars. This year’s local tournament is sponsored by Cathay Pacific, Shell V-Power, Arrow Shirts, PLDT Business Solutions & Smart Enterprise, and TW Steel.

“We are all looking forward to the Finals.” Mr. Ang says, “The MercedesTrophy has become an opportunity to strengthen our Customer Relationship Program, and aside from good camaraderie and challenging golf, the Active Driving Safety Experience is something every participant really looks forward to.”

All participants will also take part and drive various new Mercedes-Benz performance models in the sought-after Active Driving Safety Program conducted by top German and Australian instructors at the exclusive Mt. Cotton Circuit—a most challenging circuit also used as a training ground by the Australian Mobile Police.

Makati Shangri-La, Sta. Elena Properties Inc., Security Bank, Titleist, Canon Philippines, Seaboard Eastern Insurance, Asia Brewery Inc., and Johnnie Walker, with special media partners Business Mirror and Inquirer Golf are the co-sponsors.
